...at my LCS, so I bought it! I've been trying to decide what set I wanted to go after, but just couldn't decide. I've been chatting with the dealer about sets, and I'm staring at his assortment of LC's, and I say "Boy, I do like the large cents", and he says, "Oh, check this one out!". Hands me this coin, and next thing you know, I'm an owner. So I'm pretty sure I'm going after an LC set (braided hair, and then see from there). I won't be able to do all in this grade, as I'm not a rich man, but this coin is just beautiful in my eyes, and I couldn't pass. He was surprised it didn't come back as RB, and looking at it in person, there is a lot of red still there, and some really nice luster. I'm almost thinking about resubmitting, but I dunno.

I just noticed I didn't post the grade. Should I, or should I do a You vs NGC?

Definitely brown, and not RB.

Good luck with your Large Cent set, just a warning, it's a very difficult set to fill, with lots & lots of different varieties of dates. I finally gave up.
